I am trying to help a friend who is looking for advice on how to choose the best bench for a low ceiling basement gym in Ottawa. He only has about six and a half feet of clearance so he needs a bench that does not sit too high off the ground.

I am worried that if the bench is too tall he will hit his head on the ceiling when he is doing seated presses or even just sitting up after a set. I have been looking at some low profile options from various brands.

Do you have a favorite bench that sits lower than the standard height? I also want to make sure it is still sturdy and adjustable. If you have a similar low ceiling issue please let me know how you worked around it with your choice of equipment!
